CUT BEETLEZ: Graveyard Gravitas

New heat arrives from Cut Beetlez in the form of Graveyard Gravitas. This time the Finnish duo have invoked the sounds of a delta blues lament as their backdrop. The cut opens with a soaring theatrical sample that for twenty seconds or so belies the sombreness of what follows – and what follows is sombre indeed. Enter a super-subby bass, a mournful piano and a melancholy female blues sample plus an uncredited turn from Philly/ Cali crew The Nice Guys coming on like Baron Samedi’s very henchman. And if that hasn’t captured the mood of the moment, I don’t know what has.(Out 3 April on Fabyl Recordings)
